Home Secretary used his Tory conference speech to launch scathing attack on the opposition leader – and claimed that it would be ‘downright dangerous’ for him to get into Number 10
JEREMY Corbyn is a “threat to our national security” stormed Sajid Javid today – saying a “vast number of Labour MPs” would agree with him.
The Home Secretary used his Tory conference speech to launch into a scathing attack on the opposition leader.
He claimed it would be “downright dangerous” for him to get into Number 10 and said it is his party’s “duty to stop him”.
Mr Javid told an audience in Birmingham the Labour boss “undermines our response to threats” against the UK.
After paying tribute to the police and security services for tackling those who want to harm the UK, he said he wanted to add something else.
The Cabinet minister explained: “Something that’s a little uncomfortable, but it needs to be said; not all threats come from outside.
“Anything that undermines our response to threats is a threat itself.
"Imagine having someone in no.10 who has voted against vital counter-terrorism legislation. Someone who refuses to condemn the Kremlin over an attack on our soil.
“Someone who seriously suggested sending a nerve agent sample to Vladimir Putin, to see if the Russians could tell us what it was.
“Who compared the actions of the US military, our closest ally, to Daesh. Who voted against banning Al Qaeda.
“This is the truth. These are the facts. And on these facts alone: Jeremy Corbyn is a threat to our national security.”
Mr Javid added: “And let me tell you something else, this isn’t a party political point. Because a vast number of Labour MPs know this is right.
“If Mr Corbyn were ever to be prime minister this behaviour wouldn’t just be naïve, it wouldn’t just be misguided, it would be downright dangerous.
“And it is our duty to stop him.”
